Apelin Stimulation of the Perivascular MuSC Niche Enhances Endogenous Repair in Muscular Dystrophy

ABSTRACT: Impaired skeletal muscle stem cell (MuSC) function has long been suspected to contribute to the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy (MD). Here we describe that defects in the endothelial cell (EC) compartment of the perivascular stem cell niche in three different types of MD are associated with inefficient mobilization of MuSCs following tissue damage. Using chemoinformatic analysis, we identified the 13 amino acid form of the peptidic hormone apelin (AP-13) as a candidate for systemic stimulation of skeletal muscle ECs. In dystrophic mice, administration of AP-13 generates a pro-myogenic EC-rich niche that supports MuSC function and markedly improves tissue regeneration, muscle strength, and physical performance. Moreover, we demonstrate that EC specific knockout of the AP-13 receptor leads to regenerative defects that phenocopy major pathological features of MD. Altogether, we provide in vivo proof-of-concept that enhancing endogenous repair by targeting the perivascular niche is a viable therapeutic avenue for MD and characterize AP-13 as a novel drug candidate for systemic treatment of stem cell dysfunction.

Changes of the muscle stem cell niche during aging

Project description:During aging, the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle decreases due to intrinsic changes in muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and alterations in their niche. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize intrinsic changes in the MuSC proteome and remodeling of the MuSC niche during aging. We generated a network connecting age-affected ligands located in the niche and cell surface receptors on MuSCs. Thereby, we revealed signaling via Integrins, Lrp1, Egfr and Cd44 as the major cell communication axes perturbed through aging. We investigated the effect of Smoc2, a secreted protein that accumulates with aging, originating from fibro-adipogenic progenitors. Increased levels of Smoc2 contribute to the aberrant Itgb1/MAPK signaling observed during aging, thereby causing impaired MuSC functionality and muscle regeneration. By connecting changes in the proteome of MuSCs to alterations of their niche, our work will enable a better understanding of how MuSCs are affected during aging.

Deep proteome of aging skeletal muscles reveals Smoc2 as a modulator of satellite cell regenerative capacity

Project description:During aging, the number and functionality of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) decreases leading to impaired regeneration of aged skeletal muscle. In addition to intrinsic changes in aged MuSCs, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins deriving from other cell types, e.g., fibrogenic-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs), contribute to the aging phenotype of MuSCs and impaired regeneration in the elderly. So far, no comprehensive analysis on how age-dependent changes in the whole skeletal muscle proteome affect MuSC function have been conducted. Here, we investigated age-dependent changes in the proteome of different skeletal muscle types by applying deep quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 183 extracellular matrix proteins that show different abundances in skeletal muscles of old mice. By integrating single cell sequencing data, we reveal that transcripts of those ECM proteins are mainly expressed in FAPs, suggesting that FAPs are the main contributors to ECM remodelling during aging. We functionally investigated one of those ECM molecules, namely Smoc2, which is aberrantly expressed during aging. We show that Smoc2 levels are elevated during regeneration and that its accumulation in the aged MuSC niche causes impairment of MuSCs function through constant activation of integrin/MAPK signaling. In vivo, supplementation of exogenous Smoc2 hampers the regeneration of young muscles following serial injuries, leading to a phenotype reminiscent of regenerating aged skeletal muscle. Taken together, we provide a comprehensive resource of changes in the composition of the ECM of aged skeletal muscles, we pinpoint the cell types driving these changes, and we identify a new niche protein causing functional impairment of MuSCs thereby hampering the regeneration capacity of skeletal muscles.

Autonomous extracellular matrix remodeling controls a progressive adaptation in muscle stem cell regenerative capacity during development

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSC) exhibit distinct behaviors during successive phases of developmental myogenesis. However, how their transition to adulthood is regulated is poorly understood. Here we show that fetal MuSC resist progenitor specification and exhibit altered division dynamics, intrinsic features that are progressively lost postnatally. Following transplantation, fetal MuSC more efficiently expand and contribute to muscle repair. Conversely, the efficiency of niche colonization increases in adulthood, indicating a balance between muscle growth and stem cell pool repopulation. Gene expression profiling identified several extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules preferentially expressed in fetal MuSC, including tenascin-C, fibronectin and collagen VI. Loss-of-function experiments confirmed their essential and stage-specific role in regulating MuSC function. Finally, fetal-derived paracrine factors were able to enhance adult MuSC regenerative potential. Together, these findings demonstrate that MuSC change the way in which they remodel their microenvironment to direct stem cell behavior in support of the unique demands of muscle development or repair. MuSCs were isolated through fluorescent-activate cell sorting usinf alpha7-integirn and CD34 as markers to identify the cell population. Total mRNA was then isolated, and samples at different developmental times were compared.

Prmt5 is a crucial regulator of muscle stem cell expansion in adult mice

Project description:Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC), also called satellite cells, are indispensable for maintenance and regeneration of adult skeletal muscles. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events controlling the fate of MuSC is missing. Here, we determine the proteome of MuSC to design a loss-of-function screen, and identify 120 genes important for MuSC function including the arginine methyltransferase Prmt5. MuSC-specific inactivation of Prmt5 in adult mice prevents expansion of MuSC, abolishes long-term MuSC maintenance and abrogates skeletal muscle regeneration. Interestingly, Prmt5 is dispensable for proliferation and differentiation of Pax7(+) myogenic progenitor cells during mouse embryonic development, indicating significant differences between embryonic and adult myogenesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that Prmt5 controls proliferation of adult MuSC by direct epigenetic silencing of the cell cycle inhibitor p21. We reason that Prmt5 generates a poised state that keeps MuSC in a standby mode, thus allowing rapid MuSC amplification under disease conditions.

H3K27me3 CUT&Tag - Jmjd3-scKO, Utx-scKO, Tdt-Ctrl, IgG-His

Project description:Stem cells reside in specialized niches that play a critical role in modulating their fate. Supporting cells in the niche instruct fate changes to the stem cells through epigenetic enzymes that transduce cell signaling to modify gene expression. Recent studies showed that the innate immune response to muscle injury alters the muscle stem cell (MuSC) niche, it remains unknown how MuSC adapt to the modified milieu to mediate muscle repair. Here we show that the epigenetic enzyme JMJD3 coordinates MuSC adaptation to the regenerative niche in a non-cell autonomous manner where it modifies their extracellular matrix to integrate signaling that stimulates exit of quiescence. Genomics and transcriptomics approaches identified the hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis enzyme Has2 as a key JMJD3 target gene that allows MuSCs to integrate signals from the regenerative niche. Overall, we identified a specific role for JMJD3 in regulating the expression of genes that allow MuSCs to adapt to the modified niche of regenerating muscle. We aim to determine the differential occupancy of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethyl mark muscle satellite stem cells isolated from JMJD3scKO, UTXscKO and Wild-type mice.
